new blog

Before my season of photography and senior stuff at school gets into full swing, I thought I would go ahead and switch my blogs. I wanted a blog that I could display the images how I like things.....big! so please, please make the changes on your links, because it wouldn't be the same without you coming over to the new site with me!. the link is http://www.stillmomentsbyleighannblog.com/ I've only got one post uploaded. I'll leave this one up for a little while longer! I'm not sure of the color scheme I designed on the new blog, but it will do for now. I'm excited to show my clients their previews in a better designed blog. Let me know what you think. It works just like blogger, just click on comments and type away!

Beautiful Bride

Dustin and Donna Moses are officially husband and wife and she was such a gracious and sweet bride. Here's a slideshow of the afternoon.....some of my favorites anyway! What a day to be married....

Bennett turns 9 today

We started our day with birthday pancakes complete with strawberries and blueberries and of course the whipped topping! I think his favorite part is the topping can that sprays in your mouth. Who cares about putting it on the pancakes! Doug came home mid morning from work, so he could assemble his trampoline that we got him. It should be a fun day.

Bryant

I was capturing my photo of the day when I snapped this of Bryant working on his pinky promise with me! so cute. He also is a great little leg lifter. He got 30 pts on wii fit today. That's impressive for a three year old.

A shout out to my first roomate

Teresa Haynes was my first roomate at OBU, little did we know that years later, she and I would be doing some of the same things. We both have three young kids and are both photographers. I can only dream to be as successful as she is. She has won numerous kodak awards among other international awards for her photography. Recently she had two images displayed on the jumbo tron in times square...yea NYC! I can't stand how incrediably talented she is. I hope to visit sometime soon. For those photog's out there, here is some eye candy for you to see. teresaleephotography.com We've been communicating via internet for quite some time....she gave me some tricks for black and white. I love the one of Addy!

The Lee Family

Well, what started out as a planned outdoor session, quickly turned in doors and we had to improvise. I was very thankful, the Lee's opened their home so we could capture the entire family. Keep them in your prayers as they fight cancer.....I know with God's grace she will overcome.

SB09!

We had great weather down south and I got some spoiling from mom and dad! The kids always spend the days with their cousins. Everything from lizard catching to hop scotch, the kids had a blast. I even managed to 'jump in' with jump rope after more than 20 years....Addy is just about to get it.

I thought about this time last year, I was still changing diapers on the little one....boy what a difference a year will make. I am kinda sad to think that his third year is more than half over. He is saying the funniest things. Then last night he and I started the pinky promise game, mainly because of his whinning....maybe that little game will do the trick? I hope something changes and soon.

found some new locations

Glad Addy doesn't mind being photographed. Thank goodness I had one girl. I am really anxious to get some great senior shots this spring. It is booking up fast, so if you are thinking about a session see me soon!

Couch full of Kids

Today, we spent the afternoon with Beth Ann and Meredith. We got to catch up and I loved seeing Meredith's happy kids. I can't remember the last time I've seen them? Meredith has the baby and the two girls in the middle.

Brayden turns 1

This little guy was so fun to photograph today. He is still a little unsure on the standing alone, but he did great and I think was a little distracted I guess by the new territory that he didn't realize he was standing all alone a LONG Time! I just love these shots....I was like he's happy, happier, happiest! don't you think? Oh, and he sure surprised us all by his reaction to the cake and balloons, or should I just say balloons. He was all business with those balloons. You guys were great today and I love the images! have fun choosing.

A small break from the action!

I have had two full weekends without photography clients....what's a girl to do? I made the most of last weekend with family and rest. This weekend looks to be very dreary...so maybe catch up on some reading. I just finished the Shack by William Young. Any readers out there care to share your comments on the book? I would love to hear. Next up is Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins...everyone that's read it says you can't put it down... I can't wait. I need something really good for spring break. Any suggestions? Here's a week in review around the Hasley house. The last picture is of my poor dog who is in desperate need of a haircut and a bath!

Terrific Babies

How precious is this little guy and girl? They are really growing. They've definitely lost that newborn look, huh? So priceless. S. and N you guys are doing great as parents. I was so impressed that the twins made it in the studio for at least one hour, that's a long time for six monthers! I look forward to watching them grow up. The first picture cracks me up....I wonder what they think of each other? It is almost like you can hear him saying, "Why in the world is this crazy lady putting us in a basket with you, sitting on my legs?"

Look at this cutie miracle

how neat to read this today about Kelly and Scott's Harper! go here to read the article on her blog. kellyskornerblog.com

Korben turns 1

This little guy is the cutest thing ever. I just love Kristen and Aaron.....such precious parents. Korben is a for sure product of the happiness you guys have in your life. Even though little girls are precious to capture at this stage, the little boys are so innocent. I love them. I am glad today went so well. Korben has a contagious smile...don't you think?! I had too many to post of my favorites, but these are a few of my top picks from today's session. I wish blogger could do something about their output, because this post does nothing for the blues in this boys' eyes. Sweetness.

Valentine's Day

Doug and I took the kids for a Valentine treat today. We all love Marble Slab....Bennett got the crazy combo today....blueberry ice cream with raspberries folded in it? Strange! But they loved it. Bryant's was the best, chocolate ice cream with butterfinger mixed in. Is it strange that we all try each other's treat? oh well. I love the picture of the boys, Bryant is mid lick!

Living Faith

You know there are always those times in our lives where we just stop where we are, pause, and say Our God is Good. As most of you know Collin was diagnosed with leukemia back in the fall and has just now in the last days come home for the first time from Children's. Emily and Phillip are living out their faith. Emily said tonight that, "This is our new reality," keeping him safe and loving him through this trial. I know that I would be full of doubt about God's provision if I was in their place, but they are just so firm in their job as protectors and parents. They truly are a witness to what so many of us 'say' we believe. So many prayers have been lifted up for this family but Collin can always use more. Please see their caringbridge site http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/collinmarsh and leave them a caring message of hope and steadfast prayer. They've had a really good week at home and by the looks of the pictures, Collin hasn't missed a step! or should I say crawl. He is super close to taking off. He really wanted his toys tonight. Emily and Phillip are great parents and Collin is one of the happiest boys I've photographed. So..... our God is Good, because of the doctors and caregivers Collin has had.....for the medicine available to him....and the smile he spreads on Collin's face! what a delight. Go hug your babies!
